Competencies / intended learning achievements
Upon successful completion of the module, the students know and understand the basic principles and methods of the theory of finite groups. They have studied important examples of finite groups and are able to examine those using scientific methods. They are able to name the main propositions of the lecture, classify and explain the illustrated relationships. They understand the proofs and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can critically assess, what conditions are necessary for the validity of the statements.
By completing exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and methods taught in the lecture.
